Bring Hope

______________________________

We are so excited about the many wonderful and encouraging things taking place in our city! The staff, partners, and volunteers of DLF see good happening in Dallas daily.

We have the privilege of working with a diverse population of need within eight underserved Dallas communities. These include:

  • Seniors on fixed incomes
  • Low-income families
  • At-risk youth
  • Individuals impacted by the prison system

We invite you to experience an elderly grandmother feed volunteers as they paint the exterior of her home, or a "returning citizen" turn from his life of crime and turn to Christ to help him get his life together, or see youth have a great time while learning to become tomorrow's leaders. These transformations aren't what we hope to see, this is what we have the privilege of experiencing all year long.
